Running Time : 7hrs 35minsKenneth Branagh stars in BBC Radio 4's ambitious eight-hour dramatisation of 'Life and Fate', Vasily Grossman's epic masterpiece set during the Battle of Stalingrad.This powerful work, completed in 1960, charts the fate of both a nation and a family in the turmoil of war.

Fry's Planet Word – The Power And The Glory Ep 5/5Sunday 23 October9.00-10.00pm BBC TWOStorytelling has been around as long as language itself. From Homer's epic The Odyssey to Joyce's modern reinvention of it in Ulysses, taking in Shakespeare, Wodehouse, Tolkien, Orwell, Auden, Bob Dylan and even the mangled web of words that has become known as Birtspeak, Stephen uncovers why certain words can make people laugh, while others make them cry or tear their hair out.Talking to storytellers such as screenwriter William Goldman and Lord Of The Rings director Peter Jackson, he looks at how character and plot are interwoven and how any rulebook on how to create the perfect story is doomed.Shakespearean actors Simon Russell Beale, David Tennant, Brian Blessed and Mark Rylance give their take on Hamlet and the Bard.

Doctor Who Magazine has reported on the fact that David Tennant is attatched to the BBC Film Nativity 2 which is of course a sequel to the Martin Freeman film, Nativity, which was released in 2009.

The project is thought to be partly improvised and if so it will be the second partly improvised project David has embarked on this year as his new BBC drama, Love Life, is also semi improvised.

It was initially thought that David had begun filming after he was spotted at a primary school in Coventry earlier this week, and Ian McNiece had previously stated that filming begins this week, however it has since emerged that David was helping the director to audition young cast members.

Filming is thought to begin next week in Coventry and a release date of late 2012 is expected.

Thanks to @dtforum and @PropPortfolio.

Earlier this year Debbie Isitt spoke about the possibility of a sequel to the original Nativity!

A few months back we reported on the possibility of David appearing in Nativity 2 for BBC Films. Well we can now confirm that David's next film project will be Nativity 2. Ian McNiece will play his character's father and filming is due to begin next week, although it's not known when David will be starting on set.
